1000 Days
Chapter 5's

"wake you straight back out, don't you mene a?" (loh, you want to go straight home, is not tomorrow only) asked the Mbah

"mboten mbah, mbenjeng kulo kudu ngantar ibuk" (no mbah, tomorrow I have to take my mother)

"yo wes, ati-ati, ojok direct muleh, wedine onok iku"

(yes, heart, fear there is it)

"iku" Sri's mind, what does that sentence mean, what is following actually, and what is all this, many questions arise in Sri's head, before, the Mbah suddenly speaks.

"metuo ndok, I'm your spirit nang kunu" (just come out son, I know-

you are there)

Sri stepped out, saw the light of the car start to drift away, fade, then disappear.

"celuk'en kancamu, ben ngerti, the reason for kenek opo sedoyo onok nang kene" (call your friends, let's understand, why you are here)

Sri' also called the others.

mbah Tamin sat in a long chair, looking far away on the porch of the hut house, while Sri and the others stood up, ready with an explanation of all this.

the atmosphere of the forest is increasingly gripping, every corner of the tree seems to live and observe them, Sri feels small in this place

"i fill the ceiling, the child ayu, cheerful, ra nduwe duso" (i remember, little boy, beautiful, cheerful, has not had a sin) "cockless wedi yo, but, my little girl, Iku, sak iki, nang sill nyowo, perkoro Santet menungso laknat!" (as it was yesterday, but now, the little boy

lying sick, against the nature of his life, just because of the witchcraft of a savage man!!) mbah Tamin's face stiffened, his sentence vocabulary like full of anger, making Sri and the others shudder in horror.

(that little kid, Dela, he's in the room)

"ZOR?" sri and the others said at the same time

sri's and the others' faces grew tense

"iyo, manggane, cah iku, in gowo nang kene, disingitno, ben isok putin, until I meet Awulurane" (yes, that's why he smebunyikan here, so I can survive, until I meet Awulurane, see how to install the stitches)

"disingitno press sinten mbah" (hidden from whom mbah?) ask Sri, who is more interested, as if everything here makes her curious.

mbah Tamin looked at Sri, his eyes as if uncomfortable with the question.

"akeh sing rung mok erohi, luweh slick not ae spirit"

(many things you don't know, better not to know)

the atmosphere became silent for a moment, Mbah Tamin picked up a box, took a pinch of dried leaves from inside the box, twisted it with paper, before sipping it vigorously, smoke billowing from his mouth.

"sak iki, don't take care of dut'e njengan kabeh yo" (it's time I tell you your assignment here)

mbah Tamin stood up, he seemed to give a sign that Sri and others followed him. he walked beside the side of the house, a lot of pieces of wood in the stacking, indeed, this house looks terrible, this house looks terrible, with lighting that is only from petromax lights, besides, darkness, is everywhere

he stopped just behind the house, there was a bamboo fence, where, inside, there was a well, there, a place to bathe, and a place to take water for the necessities of life during his stay, including, for washing sudo (dead body) Dela who lies motionless.

only Sri who took the initiative to ask, especially when it comes to bathing it, somehow and why, Sri seems to know, how to bathe it must not be the same as how to bathe ordinary people, it is, it is, making Mbah Tamin smile, as if shortening his explanation of this all
